Esports Betting Calendar – Intelligent Profiling

The esports betting calendar is a custom-built tool that has been designed exclusively for the ICE365 website by escharts.com.

Covering CS:GO, DOTA 2 and LoL, the calendar allows users to quickly navigate those esports tournaments that have significant betting impact. It displays real-time, essential streaming data, prize pool information and, for the first time, the estimated value of bets placed on each event.

Ben ‘Noxville’ Steenhuisen, the resident esports expert from award-winning esports data provide Bayes Esports, brings the calendar to life by selecting monthly event top picks. Ben also provides ‘betting first’ commentary on the tournaments that need to be on everyone’s radar.

Tournament monthly picksReasons for the picksCS:GO
Blast Premier’s Spring GroupsBLAST have 12 “partner teams” which are reliable, known and storied organisations within the CS:GO scene. They receive a slightly accelerated qualification path into large LAN BLAST events – and this event is one of those such qualifiers. After 10 days of competition the top 6 teams will advance directly to the BLAST Spring Finals, and the others will be forced to fight past open-qualifier and wildcard teams. Last year’s iteration of this event saw a peak of over 524k concurrent viewers (per EsportsCharts) – a feat only surpassed by the two majors and two other IEM events.Dota 2
Dota Pro Circuit Tour 1This year’s Dota Pro Circuit kicks off early in the new year – firstly with China, and then all the other regions starting a week later. Like last season, each ‘tour’ has a league component and then an offline Major, however the overall scheduling has been re-arranged in order to shorten the top division into the first three weeks. This should provide more time for 3rd party events, but also hopefully concentrate viewership. Last year’s final league cycle represented just under 23M hours of content watched across 6 regions (per EsportsCharts).LoL
LEC Winter 2023The League of Legends World Championships in 2022 was a disappointment for Western teams. The top 8 featured 7 teams from South Korea & China combined. The last hope for Europe was Rogue – their own final hurrah under the Rogue name (as they would merge with KOI starting in the 2023 season). They are one of the overall favourites to win the LEC Winter 2023 season which kicks off in January with the round-robin stage. Historically (per EsportsCharts) the LEC is the 2nd most watched tier 1 league (after LCK), attracting a peak of 732k concurrent viewers last year, and on average 33M hours of content viewed per split.
